    • Great product will buy again
Really good product I don’t think it’s too oily but I pair with my skin care routine at night, I use a water based serum under it and moisturizer. No strong scent amazing in my skin care and I’ve noticed my skin is definitely softer and clearer!

    • Good start
I’ve been using this for a month now it’s good for my skin- my skin feels very soft after applying. This is probably a good start to get your skin used to retinol after that you can up the dosage. It smells good. Easy to apply. I apply it about 45 minutes before going to bed so it can soak in and add moisturizer ... show more

    • Don't hesitate, buy it!
I absolutely love The Ordinary products. The Retinol is great on my skin. I have had no issues. I gradually built up from 0.2% to 1% in 3 months time. I love the way it feels. My fine lines are less noticeable. I have more glow. My skin tone and texture have improved drastically.

    • I entered my chrysalis. I emerged Beyoncé
I bought this because the fine lines on my forehead were starting to form a small Wi-Fi symbol. My skin was tired. Dull. Like it had just pulled a double shift at a Waffle House. Enter: The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane. The first night, I applied 2 drops with the reverence of a medieval monk handling holy relics. The texture? Oily but elegant. Like your bougie friend who “doesn’t eat gluten” but will for croissants in Paris. Over the weeks, my face began to transform. – My skin? Smoother than jazz. – My glow? So bright I was asked to tone it down in the office. – My confidence? Astronomical. I now make direct eye contact with people at Trader Joe’s. I didn’t just reverse aging. I reversed destiny. Caution: May cause increased self-esteem, glowy selfies, and mild time travel. Pair with sunscreen unless you want to burn brighter than your enemies’ jealousy. ... show more
